Re: Spreadsheet Configuration Table - Automation options?

I'm afraid I'm stumped though. doc = App.ActiveDocument sheet = doc.getObject("Spreadsheet") firstcell = 'A5' part = doc.getObject('Part') # Make target part the first variation config = getattr(sheet, firstcell) part.Configuration = config part.Label = 'Variant' + config # Now make links ...

Re: Spreadsheet Configuration Table - Automation options?

That's exactly what I'm looking for - much appreciated. It's about 3:30 AM right now so I'm probably missing something obvious, but after playing around for about 10 minutes I seem to be stuck as I fail to see the reason why the labels 'skip one' for each variant. I only modified the 'firstcell' var...

Spreadsheet Configuration Table - Automation options?

Good afternoon - and congratulations on FreeCAD's current status! It's been a while since I've used FreeCAD, and I'm loving the new configuration table and the link variants features. I have my spreadsheet configuration table setup with the variants that I want, and I can create independent parts in...

Reset window position

I have one window in particular - the 'set appearance' window - which somehow got positioned such that the bottom of the window is partially off-screen. I always have to drag the window higher, in order for the buttons at the bottom to become accessible. After closing and opening the dialog again, t...

Re: Error: "You need a planar face as support for a sketch!"

It is definitely strange though that on your end you have no problems sketching on that face and on my end it gives an error... As mentioned in the previous post, and you can see it in the 3D view (multiple objects marked green), ánd you can see it in the Tree view: you don't have a single face sel...

Re: Computational efficiency for PD Patterns and Draft Array

Lots of interesting replies and angles. This forum really is a goldmine, and the best user manual a product could ever have :D I have completely ported the project to using only Part and Draft workbenches. A bit weird to not (having to) use(ing) Bodies, and not having a Tip available :lol: The more ...

Computational efficiency for PD Patterns and Draft Array

Hi all, I am looking for some assistance with improving an - I would think not so - computationally intensive design. In short and abstract, I am doing the following, all parametric via a spreadsheet and exclusively in PD, with the exception of Draft Array. Nothing too fancy, as I hope you will agre...

Re: [Sketcher] Part of sketch flips when changing dimensions in fully constrained sketch

Looking at it briefly, although the sketch is fully constrained, you may want to change the dimension constraint for another symmetry constraint. As you can see in your example, its ambiguous where changed line should go - it's definitely not symmetrically around the y axis as I think you intend.
